How long after baby #1 was it before you got baby fever?

    The day we came home from the hospital, my husband and I were all about WHEN we could add a second baby and decided to try again in the fall (10 months). Then for me baby rabies took a looong break until he was just over a year. That is when I started getting giddy and silly around little babies.

    I'd say when E was about 4 months old! I got my BFP (surprise- not planned) at 6 months pp and I can't WAIT to have 2!!

    Although I would feel blessed if we have another child, my 18 month old is enough for us right now. My husband and I are considering only having 1 right now. I think part of it is because I am still nursing (weaning is not going well), we still don't sleep well at night, and I don't feel as healthy as I did before getting pregnant. When things change, I wouldn't be surprised if I would get baby fever.

    It came in waves. Right after birth I was just too tired and we agreed to wait until Tor was two ( once we agreed on a 2nd that is. Hubby had bad PPD and wasn't sure he wanted more until a couple months in). For myself it started abstractly at around 6 weeks but I wasn't feeling really ready until about two months ago. LO is 11.5 months old and I am BUrnung with the fever. A lot of friends have also just had babies or become pregnant which doesn't help. We plan to start trying in six months but I am trying to move it up. So far no dice!

    It comes and goes for me, but I don't think I have ever had a full-on case of it. More like when I see a newborn I think - for a split second - how I wish I could have one? But then I'm over it really quickly. LO is 15 months old and the plan is to wait until she has turned 2 to start TTC.

    About 2-3 months after DS was born. I got my (surprise) BFP at 7 months pp. I am 3 weeks pp now and definitely do NOT have baby fever! And honestly I'm so tired right now, and don't necessarily see that changing, that it could be a LONG time before I get it again. And even if I do get it, we are done.
